Eggs Benedict Components

Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Preparing the Perch

1

Fry the Perch

In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Season the perch fillets with salt and black pepper. Fry the perch fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Poaching the Eggs

2

Poach the Eggs

In a large pot, bring water to a simmer and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

3

Prepare the Hollandaise

In a double boiler, whisk together 3 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Gradually add melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

Assembling the Dish

4

Construct the Eggs Benedict

Toast the English muffins and spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on each half. Place a fried perch fillet on each muffin half, top with a poached egg, and drizzle Hollandaise sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
